STUDYING THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF THE BIOGRAPHY OF THE PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON HIM) FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF NON-MUSLIM HISTORIANS (A CRITICAL REVIEW)

Abstract

The main aspect of the critical tendency of non-Muslim biographers is the criticism of the political and social issues of the biography of the Prophet (peace be upon him). In this regard, their first objection is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) forcibly spread his religion among the people through the sword, so that people were forced to accept Islam. The purpose of taking up the sword was to show how many hardships the Prophet and his companions had to face in the early period of Islam, but the principles of patience, perseverance and peace were adopted, and later he took up the sword to defend himself to prevent the oppression of the infidels. Similarly, non-Muslim biographers presented him as an unimportant figure in society, while the personality of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was well-known and recognizable in the Meccan and Medinan periods, and people loved him more than their own lives and property. The livelihood of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions has also been objected to. Muslims gathered in trade caravans to fulfill their economic needs and fulfilled their needs, while the purpose of stopping these trade caravans was to weaken the power of the infidels and the purpose of the Muslims was to create fear and power in the hearts of these infidels. Non-Muslim biographers have described the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)'s preaching struggle as the acquisition of political power and authority, while he (peace be upon him) lived a life of great humility and simplicity, transcending all these things. There was no purpose in his life to acquire political power and authority, rather his entire life was spent for the upliftment of the religion of Islam, to bring people out of the valleys of misguidance and to bring them to guidance. This was the purpose of his life. The claim that the Jews were treated very badly in society and were forcibly exiled is also not true, but rather they had to be killed and exiled because of their deceit and harm to Islam. There is no point in criticizing the political and social affairs of non-Muslim biographers, as if they want to diminish your greatness by making such objections that people will express hatred and enmity towards you. In reality, these people can never succeed in their goal. In this discussion, along with criticizing the political and social affairs of non-Muslim biographers, it has also been refuted with arguments.
